Title: Rename SNMP section ruleset
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 2.0.0b5
The ruleset <i>"Include or exclude SNMP sections"</i> has been
renamed to <i>"Disabled and enabled sections (SNMP)"</i>.
This makes the naming scheme more consistent with other section
disabling rulesets (Windows and Linux agent).

The rulesets <i>"Agent sections to be executed"</i> and <i>"Disabled agent sections"</i>
have been renamed to <i>"Enabled sections (Windows agent)"</i> and
<i>"Disabled sections (Windows agent)"</i>, respectively.
This makes the naming scheme more consistent, both inherently and in relation
to other section disabling rulesets (Linux agent and SNMP).

Title: Linux agent: Fix execution of cached plugins (2.0.0b4 regression)
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 2
Class: Bug fix
Version: 2.1.0i1
The 2.0.0b4 release introduced a regression in the Linux agent which broke the
execution of cached agent plugins (which also includes the agent updater for
example). The plugins that are placed below
<tt>/usr/lib/check_mk_agent/plugins/[seconds]</tt> were not executed at all in
2.0.0b4.
Possible workarounds:
<ul>
<li>Move the plugin to the <tt>/usr/lib/check_mk_agent/plugins</tt> directory
to execute it every check cycle</li>
<li>Use an agent of previous 2.0.0 releases</li>
<li>Use the agent from a daily build 2021-01-16 or newer</li>
</ul>

Title: mkbackup: Fix permission issues when backing up different sites
Component: Core & setup
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 2.1.0i1
The site and appliance backup functionality of Checkmk share a global
lock which ensures that only a single backup or restore job is running
at a time.
However, on current linux distributions, a permission issue may occur when
backing up multiple sites on a single Checkmk server. The problem appears when
one site creates the global lock file (<tt>/tmp/mkbackup.lock</tt>), locks it and
releases the lock after the backup. The file is kept after that. Once another
site tries to lock the file during it's backup, a "Permission denied" error is
raised. This is caused by specific file restrictions in directories where the
sticky bit is set.
The lock file has now been moved to <tt>/var/lock/mkbackup/mkbackup.lock</tt>
to solve this issue.
